Title: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on March 19, 2016, 03:15:57 AM
Time to retire my evil twin, frEEdyfly, and return to normal, with:
my last 5 Sparklers: #6 (damaged, chewed upper corners :( , but complete), and 17, 20, 22 & 23 - all missing a wrap.
And, all without everybody's favorite couple - Nancy & Tarzan, as usual.

I'm not going to add the post-SparkGuy issues since he was replaced by a non-PD strip - Lil Abner, so that means omitting 3 stories.
I might compile the Abbie&Slats stories (one of the reasons I collect the series).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on March 31, 2016, 06:12:52 AM
There are a few later issues that have only one non-PD strip - Nancy.
I've upped 2 tonight - 88 & 89.
The only other stories other than one-pagers are Abbie & Slats and Captain & the Kids
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 02, 2016, 05:17:17 AM
Spakler 57 up'd tonight. It's the first with Li'l Abner (replaced Broncho Bill), so Three stories are deleted, but it's also the last appearance of The Spark Man - a reprint of an early Superhero-version story.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 11, 2016, 01:42:21 AM
And one more early Sparkler, Nancy-free & Tarzan-free: #9! (from the snard archive)

A new fixed Marvel family 15 now upped! Please remove the old one; thanks!

14 new Sparklers now added thx to Eddie 73 and others; Tarzan, Nancy & Abners all deleted

How great to see these Sparkler Comics gems again!  Shame about the necessary omissions due to the copyright restrictions, but the characters and strips remaining make for a hugely entertaining read.  Thank you very much freddyfly and Eddie73 for these greatly appreciated uploads!!  :)  More please, if and when possible that is!!  Cheers!  Melbee.

Post by: freddyfly on May 14, 2016, 03:56:44 AM
And one more Sparkler tonight: #84! (my scan).
This is the first post-Abner issue, so only 2 stories are omitted: Tarz & Nan
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 16, 2016, 01:07:09 AM
A Sparkling pair tonight: #97 (from dc++; Nancy omitted); and #11 (my scan; Tarz 'n' Nancy dumped, and also missing the centerfold).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly

A Sparkling trio tonight -- original scans of late issues : #s 98, 99 & 102!
All Nancy-free of course, so all that's left is Casey Ruggles and Capt & the Kids
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: crashryan on May 18, 2016, 04:05:11 PM
Great to see Casey Ruggles again. Warren Tufts wrote exciting, entertaining stories. His artwork was doggone good, too.

Post by: Kracalactaka on May 18, 2016, 08:15:15 PM
dang Freddy, Sparkler is the only section that has more than just a few books that has the same user uploading every single one.

it's mighty tempting to use my admin magic to change your screen name to Sparkyfly  ;D
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 20, 2016, 04:14:39 AM
I've been collecting & scanning them for a long time (and grabbing a bunch from dc++), but dcm didn't accept them and I didn't know CB+ did. I have a few more late (Casey) issues to pass on from dc++, but I'm finished after that until I buy more.
[disclaimer: I do have several issues in the post-Sparkie, pre-Casey period, but with 3 non-PD strips (Tarz,Abner,Nan), there isn't much left to upload here.]

Another UFS title you could add for me to upload to is Tip Top. The contents are similar to Sparkman except in his place it has Triple Terror and Mirror Man (from #54 to 119).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 22, 2016, 04:06:56 AM
My last 4 Casey Ruggles Sparklers added (from dc++) - 101, 106, 110-1; Nancy-free as always, but with gluten & GMOs.

By the way, just in case I get into very-late Tip Top issues, I assume Peanuts is also non-PD
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on May 22, 2016, 11:14:17 AM
All up now. Many thanks! As for Peanuts, I certainly would have thought so!

Post by: freddyfly on May 23, 2016, 04:57:12 AM
Hey, gang...  nobody responded to my question about creating a sub-section for Tip Top Comics (United features), so I've upped two issues to the main section = #s 119 & 150
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on May 23, 2016, 05:19:21 PM
The nobody who did not reply was, I am ashamed to confess, me :(

However, I have now atoned for my sin and set up the series, plus I have moved United Features into the main comic book section.

Post by: mr_goldenage on May 23, 2016, 06:15:59 PM
Good going Mark. Glad to see USF in the main section. I have a few Tip Tops I can scan some time in the future (busy with my Smith Street Project <Thanks Narf!> and other CB+ related deeds. Love their quirky superheroes Mirror Man, Spark-Man, and the Triple Terror just to name a few.... thanks again,,,, any idea on the Miss Fury # 8 yet?

Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 25, 2016, 05:00:58 AM
A Tip Top pair tonight:
#78 from dc++, and #108 from my overheated scanner. Abner & Nancie dumped as always (for both comics, Nan was on 5or6 half-pages so I removed only those halves,  leaving 5or6 Fritzie half-pages).

I noticed my upload yesterday of an upgraded Tip Top 119 hasn't yet been added. Is it ok?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on May 25, 2016, 05:30:24 AM
All is good .. the wheels run slow at CB+ :)
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 26, 2016, 05:06:48 AM
Gee... I though you guys were there 1440 minutes a day just waiting for new uploads to be added instantly!

Meanwhile...
several more Tip Tops tonight, mostly my own old (or not-so-old) scans. The earlier ones have Tarzan and Abner stories deleted, but not Nancey since she hadn't yet gotten her own strip (but she appears in Fritzey).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on May 26, 2016, 05:39:48 AM
We are there ready, but nowadays are rather prone to taking the odd nap or two! All done!

I resemble that remark
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly

And one more, from DC++: Tip Top 57, minus the Yokums & Lord Greystoke
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 28, 2016, 04:39:01 AM
and two more Tip Tops: a nice early issue, #6! (from dc++) (minus John Clayton [Viscount Greystoke], and Mr. Abner Yokum)
and my new scan of #126 (minus Ms Nancy Ritz* & Mr. Abner Yokum)

* last name given at Wikipedia

Continuing my Tip Top festival: my scan of #123!
without Nanciye(five
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 30, 2016, 04:17:43 AM
Tonight , my next tip-top Tip Top scan: #114!
free of Nanciye & the Yokum family as usual.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 01, 2016, 07:00:24 AM
Tonight, the last Tip Top batch from dc++, minus the usual copyright stuff.
And, one new original scan - #113.
I'll have a few more done in the #80s/90s over the next week or two.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 04, 2016, 05:24:04 AM
... but first, an early issue: Tip Top #20!
It's missing the cover (so no ifc,ibc,bc) and outer wrap: CapKids pg1-2, and last two Abner pgs (which would be omitted anyway).
Tarzan also sent packing as always.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 06, 2016, 05:00:33 AM
Tonight, starting my series of five 1943 Tip Tops, all incomplete (aside from the omitted non-PD pages), with #92!. It's missing one internal page with Cap & The Kids on both sides. Abner and six Nancii half-pages also dropped.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 07, 2016, 04:26:25 AM
Next: TT #86, Abnerless & Nancyless per CB+ rules.
Also missing two cfs: last 3 Cap&Kids pgs, 2 Stamp Tips, and first 3 Nan/Fritzes, so the first 3 Fritzi
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 08, 2016, 06:09:47 AM
followed closely by TipTop #89!, Abner- & Nancee-free as always.
This is another of those short-term 56-pagers with the d@mned single-pages stuck in the front half of the comic, that regularly fall out and are lost. This time 2 are missing, but one is an Abner page so it wouldn't be allowed anyway, so the only extra missing scans are the 2 sides of a Capt&Kids page.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 09, 2016, 06:20:26 AM
And at last a c2c issue (minus the usual suspects) - Tip Top #91!.

One more issue to go to end this marathon
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 11, 2016, 05:09:14 AM
And to end my current series of new TipTops... #87!, without, of course, Li'l Nancy (7 half-pages), and the Yokums.
There's one other issue I might add later... a replacement for (or 'diff ver' of) the current #78, which has so-so scans.

Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 14, 2016, 06:12:56 AM
Hi, I found a new batch of other people's Tip Tops I can add, and I did #10 & 26 tonight,
BUT PLEASE DON"T ADD THE #8 I upped! It turned out to be #12 (every story ends with a note that says it's continued in #13).
So, I'll re-do it tomorrow with correct covers.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 15, 2016, 04:57:51 AM
four mour tonight, all without the Yokums & The Greystokes:
#7 (otherwise complete); #12 (also no ifc/ibc/bc); #32(otherwise complete); #53 (also no page 1 (Cap&Kids))
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 18, 2016, 05:05:30 AM
Dug out one more Sparkler from DC++ - #91.
With 12 Nancy & 9 Tarz pages removed, only 27 pgs are left (+ covers)
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: mr_goldenage on June 18, 2016, 04:43:08 PM
I have Tip Top issue #'s 68, 97 & 99. I see 68 is already scanned. My copies of 97 & 99 are in poor condition but if needed I could scan them when I have time (still looking for work). I have some Super Comics and Popular Comics too I need to scan.

Mr_Goldenage
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 21, 2016, 06:14:15 AM
I hope you can get to the 97 & 99. I have a large gap from 92 to 105.
Tonight, a new (as promised) Tip Top 78 to replace (or add to) the old so-so scan.
The front page was torn out of my copy, so pages1&2 are borrowed from the old scan; Abner&Nancy dumped as usual.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 26, 2016, 05:49:18 AM
up'd a corrected Tip Top 53 tonight, with the formerly-missing page 1 added (thx to kingfaraday!).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 27, 2016, 04:38:30 AM
Tonight, starting a new series of Fritzi Ritz / United Comics.
It's in 2 parts:
internet finds (mainly from dc++): #s 36(minus Abner) and 51(minus Nancee), and three c2cees: #s 3, 4 & 5 (I hope #5 got upped... I had a connection glitch... if it didn't, I'll try again tomorrow).
And my own scans, starting with #s 7 (c2c!) & 23 (Peanuts- & GMO- & gluten-free!)
(I just realized #23 is a United, not a Fritzi, so I upped it to the wrong section  :'(    :(   )
(plus I named the file fritziRitz23...)
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: mr_goldenage on June 27, 2016, 06:49:52 AM
Do you have any Super Comics as well?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 28, 2016, 04:26:46 AM
I saw Fritzi #5 didn't make it yesterday, so it's now added.
Also, I see #23 (that I mis-filed & mis-named Fritzi #23 instead of United #23) is also missing. Will you be correcting it, or do you want me to re-up it?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 28, 2016, 04:58:17 AM
Next from my Fritzi stash - #30! Peanut-free as usual.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: movielover on June 29, 2016, 02:27:41 AM
United Comics 23 taken care of. Moved to proper section, renamed and notation put in description about it being United 23 and not Fritzi despite the file name.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 29, 2016, 06:01:14 AM
Thanks!
2 more United Comics Present Fritzi Ritz (in the proper section!) tonight: 19 & 20, both ctc!

Post by: freddyfly on July 02, 2016, 05:55:45 AM

both ceetoocee!
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on July 07, 2016, 06:14:38 AM
One more Sparkler, thanks primarily to dc++: #66
It was missing the ow & ifc/ibc/bc, so I added those from my copy, but Abnery, Nancy & Tarzy are removed for cb+
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on July 08, 2016, 05:17:17 AM
Tonight, from DC++: All four Dell Fritzi Ritzies (and the last 4 of the entire run) -- #s 56-59 (they need a new section). The last 3 have 4 Peanuts pages removed.

Also, a correction to the Publication History of the Fritzi Ritz (United Features) section is needed.
It currently says only " Dates: 1949 - 1949 "
but, it should say something like:
" Issues: 15 --  Sequence: #3-#7; #27-#36 --  Dates: 1949; 1953-54 "; continues with St. John series (1955) #37-#55
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on July 10, 2016, 06:56:24 AM
Tonight, the first of 3 early incomplete Tip Tops - #23. Abner removed, and the Tarzan pages were cut out anyway.
Also, it's  missing the cover & outer wrap (Capt & Kids pgs 1-2, and Tarzan & an ad at the back) so the fc is from HAG.
I've included tilted pix (from eBay, with fingers) of the back cover plus 2-page spreads of the ifc+page1, and page64+ibc.
_______________
I noticed the improvement in the UFS Fritzi section info, but there are still some problems. It now says:
Issues: 15 |  Sequence: #3 - #36 |  Dates: 1949 - 1954
But, it's a 2-part run: issues 3-7 (1949) and 27-36 (1953-54); the in-between issues are officially titled United Comics and are in a separate section.
So, the info line shoud be:
Issues: 15 |  Sequence: #3-#7; #27-#36 | Dates: 1949; 1953-54

[Or, you could combine the whole run, Fritzi+United, and have:
Issues: 34 |  Sequence: #3 - #36 |  Dates: 1949 - 1954]

Post by: movielover on July 10, 2016, 10:51:46 AM
Book is approved.

The way the program is set up, you have a start and a finish, it doesn't allow for start, break, skip numbers and start again, then finish
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on July 13, 2016, 04:50:15 AM
Sounds good.
I noticed you slipped in an extra row to accommodate the extra info!
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on July 13, 2016, 04:54:45 AM
Tonight, the second of 3 early incomplete Tip Tops - #24. Abner & Tarzan removed.
Also, it's  missing the cover & THREE outer wraps  :'(  (Capt & Kids at the front, and Looy & more at the back).
Fc + bc  from HAG. So all that's left is 46 of 68 pages.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on July 17, 2016, 06:21:15 AM
And tonight: my last, final & ultimate Tip Top scan: #27! As my description says:
Scanned from a coverless issue also missing 3 outer wraps.
The fc is from HAG; no ifc ,ibc or bc.
This time, both Tarzan and Li'l Abner were part of the outer 3 wraps, so only maybe 2 other pages are missing, and you get 53 of 68 pages.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on July 21, 2016, 05:52:43 AM
Back to Sparklers!
Tonight, starting a trio of quartets, with the first: #s 61, 62, 64 & 67.
These will All be from the post-Sparkman era, with three removed non-PD strips: Abner, Tarzan & Nancy.
The first 3 are 48-pagers, but the 4th was only 32 pages, so all you get here at CB+ is 10 pages  :'(  : a Captain & Kids stroy and 5 filler pages!

Help: I know there's one typo in my description of 61 (& maybe 62): the word 'only' came out something like 'ply'.
And, in the desc of 64 it should say 'only 26 of 48 pages remain, not '33 of 48'.
Thx!

Tonight, my next trio of post-Sparkie Sparklers - 73,74,75.!

Apologies... I failed to enter a description for #73; it should say:

" 3 copyrighted strips removed: Li'l Abner, Nancy and Tarzan, so only 31 of 52 pages remain.
A freddyfly original production!  "

Thx!

And, at long last, my very final 3 Sparklers - #s 81,82,83 - , with the usual 3 copyrighted strips removed, so only 27 or 28 of 48 pages (plus the covers) remain (Abbie&Slats; Cap & Kids; Hap Hopper; Dink O'Day + ads & fiiller pages).

and Help needed:
I forgot to enter my notes for Sparkler #73; it should say:

Post by: freddyfly on July 30, 2016, 05:56:28 AM
I spoke too soon. My own UFS scans are done, but i have 5 more UFS 'internet finds', upped tonight:
Okay Comics #1 (all-Cap&Kids; ctc):
United Comics #10 (ctc);

Sparkler Vol1 #1 (all- Jim Hardy; ctc) [note: this is the first of two single-feature 1940 Volume-1 issues; I put it in the Sparkler section, but you might want it in a separate section, or in the one-shots).

And the first two (#s 1 & 2) of a new (for CB+) title: SPARKLE Comics, so you'll need a new section. After SPARKLER went bi-monthly (with #83), the new title appeared in the alternate months. At first, it was 52 pages and featured Ella Cinders along with the UFS regulars (Nancy & Abner omitted, of course), but after a few issues, it became 36 pages, with very little beyond the non-PDs.
(#2 is also missing the ifc,ibc and one internal page)
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on August 22, 2016, 03:41:08 AM
I'm back with a few more Frtizies:
United Comics #21 is done (one Peanuts pg is all that had to be dropped), and a couple of St. John issues (46&49) are on the way, with Nancy & Peanuts dropped.

At long last, after 5 months, a new United Features scan:
United Comics #26...  mainly Fritzi Ritz pages, with a few Abbie an' Slats, and Mamie pages.
For those with allergies, the 2 Peanuts pages are removed (but if you want them, pls contact me preferably through the dcm)

Tonight, the first of 3 Tip Tops - #76!

Two more Sparklers tonight - #50 (with Sparkman) and #92.
Both have Lord Greystoke & Ms Ritz stories removed, which totals only 11 pages in 50, but 22 pages in 92 (the last issue with a Tarzan story).

My previous upload - #70 needs a small correction... the title should be Sparkler Comics 070, not '70'; thanks!

Nan & Lord G. dumped as usual, but sadly they add up to 18 of the 48 pages. I'll have 86 soon, which is similar. Tarz was then dropped for 3 issues when the title shrank from 48 to 32 pages, but returned for his last 3 appearances in 90-92.

A short stopover in UFS's Comics on Parade section for #16!

3 PD's omitted: Li'l Nancy, Li'l Abner, and Big Tarzan (12 of the 64 pages)
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on December 12, 2017, 04:59:47 AM
I've upped a single file containing the PD pages of 5 Tip Tops: 171,172,176,178,181.
Starting sometime after Tip Top became a 32(36)page comic, only 3 features remained: Nancy, Cap&Kids, and one drama/adventure strip (like Curly Kayoe, Broncho Bill, Abbie & Slats).

Tarzan was the third strip starting with #171, until the end of the UFS run - #188.
So... half those comics are non-PD, leaving only C&K, covers, ads and fillers.
So... I've combined my 5 scans of the PD pages into one file. If this is ok (and worth doing), I can dig up other scans that are available, and combine them with mine so that the files are in order (maybe, eventually, 3 batches of 6 files to cover the 18 Tarzan issues).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: lyons on December 12, 2017, 10:14:43 AM
Absolutely.  Every public domain strip in Tip Top is worthy of preservation.  Dig away, freddyfly, and thanks for the comics you bring to life once again. Have a great morning.

An earlier Tip Top tonight  - #66!

The only non-pd is Abner (7 pages) - Tarzan was dropped after #62 (not to return for over 10 years in #171), and Nancy didn't have her own strip yet (this might be the last Phil Fumble strip - in #68 it changes to Nancy, and the gcbdb doesn't have info on #67).

BUT, it's also missing the 4th wrap  - see details on the download page.

12 non-PD pages of Tarzan and Li'l Abner omitted; also missing the centerfold.

This was the last 52-pager, so the dumping of 19 (!) Abner & Nancy pages still leaves something worth uploading here. Unfortunately, the rest of the 33-issue run was mainly those 2 strips, plus some Peanuts (more non-PD), Cap & Kids and some fillers & ads.

Tonight, an early Tip Top - #29!
Scanned from a coverless issue missing the centerfold, so I added Fc & Bc from HAG, and found a modest-sized ifc at eBay.
And, of course, the non-PD Tarzan and Lil Abner stories are expunged.

But, it was an incomplete comic, missing 8 pages (4 leaves) - first 2 pages of Tailspin Tommy, first page of Iron Vic, Stamp Tips, and 3 Fritzi/Nancy pages.

BUT, it's missing 2 centerfolds (last 3 pages of Nancy/Fritzi; stamp tips; first 3 pages of Jim Hardy), and, as pwescwibed by law, as Elmer Fudd would say, non-PD wemoved: the west of Nancy, and 6 pages of Wi'l Abner.

I want to thank Mr. fly for uploading so many of the United Features comics. I am on a personal quest to read every single Fritzi Ritz page that I can manage to glue my eyeballs to, and to that end freddyfly's efforts in uploading these comics has been a great boon to me.

It's very odd that certain of the Fritzi Ritz Sunday strips are actually Nancy strips in all but the title panel which says "Fritzi Ritz by Ernie Bushmiller" -- i.e., Fritzi does not appear in certain strips at all, the entire 1/2-page being devoted to Nancy's antics. I gather these are reprinted from the part of the strip's run just before Phil Fumble's strip was cancelled and replaced by Nancy's own self-titled Sunday strip (since they entirely disappear after the non-PD NANCY Sunday strips have been removed). So it's a little weird that Fritzi's strip is in public domain, even though some of those strips feature Nancy, and ONLY Nancy, as a character... but the title panel still says FRITZI RITZ. I don't know, I still think Phil Fumble got the better part of the deal, since he got to become Fritzi's steady boyfriend as a consolation for getting booted out of his own strip by a little kid.

Not to be disingenuous, but who wants to look at Nancy when you can look at Fritzi?  Rrowr!!

Hi,
Is there any site problem with uploading? I haven't been able to since the crash, although upping to dcm (and ftp) is ok.
I get this message:
"The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on January 16, 2019, 06:36:41 AM
Hi.

I am guessing you are using firefox? If not what browser? Also what version please.

I used the outage as an opportunity to upgrade a few things on the site one is to make it use securer connections (https)

So this is most certainly related to that. I have uploaded OK with chrome and uploads are coming in. So we need to figure out why you are having probs.

We need your uploads!



Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: The Australian Panther on January 16, 2019, 11:01:36 AM
As a matter of interest, I use Firefox [#64.0.2 (64-bit)] regularly to interact with CB+ and have had no significant problems either before or after the outage.
Cheers.   
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on January 17, 2019, 04:24:32 AM
Well, I don't know if you guys did anything, or maybe it was some cosmic rays flipping a few bits, but I was able to upload a file that I've been trying to for a couple of weeks. I found a large stash of The Funnies scans that are missing from cb+ (tonight's is #40). I'm working on converting them to .cbz format.
And, yes, I use Firefox, but it's an older version (48.0.2)
................................................
And I've added #39 too.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on January 17, 2019, 06:34:38 AM
I have done a little bit of tinkering ... but not any that should suddenly make the upload work ... The outage itself was just a switch off and then back on ...

The bits I did was move 1/2 the site (the images mainly) to another machine and alter the site to https. To make it more secure
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on January 19, 2019, 06:13:56 AM
After that one successful day, I was back to failed uploads the past 2 days, so I dug into firefox's error messages & found a solution:
Turns out it was your switch to https and my antivirus (avast) not getting along. I have to disable Avast's 'web shield' temporarily to upload. It seems your security software is too new for my old firefox, and Avast blocks access.... apparently only some of the time; why I was able to upload 2 days ago is a total mystery (solar flares?).

So..........., for today:
Rocky Lane 12 now upped!
and... another The Funnies - #38!
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on January 20, 2019, 02:24:31 AM
We're flying now.  A bunch of The Funnies now added (with 'internet' mis-spelled on many as 'intenet'; sorry). Another bunch still to come.
One footnote: the #63 is a replacement for the old fiche upload.

Tonight it's back to PD-land with a Nancy-less Sparkler #93!


As for Rocky Lane 12... it was Cheap and part of a large order, so there was no extra postage cost, and maybe some people prefer 30Mb files to 70Mb ones.

Hi,
I tried to upload new, improved scans of Rangers 68 & 69; I'm sure 69 made it but not sure about #68.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on June 02, 2019, 06:47:29 AM
Well, it's obvious tonight that Rangers #68 didn't make it, so I'll try to add it now.
Also... I mis-numbered #69 as 069. so it now appears between 06 & 07; pls fix; thx.

Meanwhile... Tip Topper 28 (final issue) now up'd! (9 Abner & Peanuts pgs evaporated)

Over to Pines for a 'diff ver' of Supermouse 45 to replace (?) bchat's 9-years-old smallish scan.

By the way... the section description needs a correction; it says:
" Issues: 34 |  Sequence: #1 - #34 ", but it should say:
" Issues: 45 |  Sequence: #1 - #45 "
The last 11 issues were officially re-titled "Supermouse The Big Cheese", so the gcbdb lists them as separate titles, but you've combined them.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly

Today it's another Captain & Kids 'special issue' - Fall 1948. The other one was a 50th-Anniversary special published in early 1948; still missing is the Summer 'special issue'.
If you want, all 3 can be considered one series and put in their own section rather than with the one-shots.
Or, they could even be considered #s 13-15 and go with the regular run that began in 1949 with #16.

Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: Robb_K on November 30, 2020, 10:52:20 AM
Thanks for all your uploading, this time, especially for Peter Rabbit 32; & CowboysInjuns 7.  As a funny animal fan, I've been looking for both of those for several (many) years.  I look forward to more of your uploads of funny animal and cartoony-style comedy comics.  Keep up the good work.  I also upload a few comic books that
haven't been uploaded by others.  I could have uploaded about 25 Giggle and Ha Ha Comics, but Conan has mint copies of all of them, so I held off, and now I'm only waiting for his last 3 batches of Ha Ha.

After Ha Ha is completed, I'll only be missing 4 Coo Coo Comics, 4 Ribtickler, 6 Wotalife, 3 Cosmo Cat, 3 Jo-Jo, 6 Fawcett's Funny Animals (but 3 of those aren't PD), 4 Holiday Comics, 3 Fun Comics, 4 Frisky Animals, as far as needing more than 2 books in any 1940s or 1950s US funny animal series.  Do you have any books from these titles that you plan to upload soon, or can be uploaded in the near future?

I keep trying but I still can't upload anything! I keep getting this:

This is a standard message when things don't get through a server. It is not necessarily literally true.
And the message may not be generated by a server.
Don't know what you can do other than contact your ISP about the problem.
It might help to go through the upload process through another browser. Sometimes the browser will prevent things getting through.
Also, do you have a firewall or are you using Mircrosoft defender. Sometimes anti-virus and firewalls AI make unasked decisions to block certain things and you have then to uncheck their list of permissions.
A quick solution. Send your intended uploads to somebody else in Admin in CB+ and get them to do the upload.
I would be surprised if they don't get through that way.
Cheers!

Thanks for the info. It could be the browser (firefox) -- it's been doing some upgrades...
but, I don't have trouble uploading to dcm or mediafire,
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: The Australian Panther on June 08, 2022, 12:05:56 AM
while I still use Firefox, I have found it more and more unreliable. I currently have many troubles downloading through Firefox.
I do most of my firesharing on Waterfox. I find it much more reliable.
Almost exactly the same as Firefox otherwise.

Post by: freddyfly on September 07, 2022, 11:40:21 PM
For now, I'm still on Firefox, and I have no upload/download problems anywhere other than uploading here.
So, for now, I'm uploading to the ftp site - 6 comics currently done (2 TipTops, 2 FritziRitzes & 2 ComicsOnParade)
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: movielover on September 12, 2022, 03:06:24 PM
These have been approved.

And I have the same problem uploading here, but it is on multiple browsers, not just Firefox.

Has anyone who has had problems uploading tried in the last few days? i have made a lot of changes which I believe may well have fixed it
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 14, 2022, 05:56:49 AM
Hi, Mark:
Yes! I just now tried it with a small 'test' upload and it worked!
When I have a new scan ready (tomorrow?) I'll try a full-size upload.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on September 14, 2022, 07:17:21 AM
Great!

Fingers crossed, and apologies for my tardiness. I have been tinkering away and the decks are a bit clearer  now :)
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 15, 2022, 05:44:41 AM

Hi, Mark...
I realized after I wrote yesterday, that my current new scans can't be offered here, but I upped one just now (with a note not to add it to the site) and all went well, so i guess the problem is solved.
Do you have any idea what caused it?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on September 15, 2022, 11:46:23 AM
I suspect it was to do with ads. Recently, Google introduced a horrible "anchor ad" which appeared fixed right at the bottom.

I hated it ... BUT the revenue was really excellent. I had a gut feeling it was the source of the issue, however searching I could find no one else experiencing problems. But I disabled it and am sure it is the culprit.

So although the site is poorer, it looks and works better :) Hoorah!
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on February 09, 2023, 04:46:26 AM
Two new very-partial Tip Tops tonight (St.John issues): 193 & 208!
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 05, 2023, 04:11:03 AM
...and it's still working perfectly!
The missing Dell Super Comics 10 & 13 now added.

Are issues after #29 ok to upload (with non-pd stuff omitted)?  The only one on the site is #34.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 07, 2023, 03:57:08 AM
Well, I've added #30. All other issued are available
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 13, 2023, 03:47:47 AM
4 missing St.John's Fritzi Ritzes added - 43,44,50,55
All 'internet finds', all with Peanuts & Nancy stories removed.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 23, 2023, 04:32:16 AM
I've added an issue of Pines' Etta Kett - #11. There was no section for it, so I added it to the main Better/Pines/etc section.
There were 4 issues, but only one more is scanned. Are they ok for the site?

How about Jiggs & Maggie comics - both Pines & Harvey?

If they're ok, could you create folders for all three?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 25, 2023, 02:39:12 AM
anybody out there?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: The Australian Panther on April 25, 2023, 03:52:57 AM
Re Jiggs and Maggie,
There are some 'bringing up father' in the Newspaper strip section.
https://comicbookplus.com/search/?q=Bringing%20up%20father#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=Bringing%20up%20father&gsc.page=1
So they should be OK
But I'm no expert on copyright.
Cheers!
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on April 25, 2023, 05:23:36 AM
Thanks.
I might upload one and see what happens
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 02, 2023, 03:05:17 AM
Could someone create a section for Etta Kett under Better/Pines?
Also, for Jiggs and Maggie, both a Better/Pines section and a Harvey section?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 19, 2023, 04:08:44 AM
I found the Jiggs&Maggie Nedor section & upped issue #15.
It was a bit tricky -- it didn't show up on the main comics page, I guess because it was empty, but it is in the drop-down list when I choose where to upload a file.

I also upped issue #25 - a Harvey issue (#s 22-27), but there was no sub-section, so it's in the main Harvey section.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: paw broon on May 19, 2023, 02:24:32 PM
I forgot to add a Harvey section but I have now. Thanks for the scans.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 20, 2023, 04:31:49 AM
Thanks!
There's a bunch of these available.

If you want to add series details, for the Standard it's:
Issues: 11 |  Sequence: #11 - #21|  Dates: June 1949 - Feb 1952.

... and for the Harveys it's:
Issues: 6 |  Sequence: #22 - #27|  Dates: April 1953 - Feb-March 1954.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on May 20, 2023, 05:27:01 AM
I've added a 2nd Harvey issue - #24, with 2 Little Dot paged removed.
No other Harvey scans are available.

Post by: freddyfly on August 30, 2023, 04:07:40 AM
Hi,
I noticed the new bunch of Super Comics, so I upped my paperscan of #50, and #66.
All the rest are available. Is anyone else uploading them?
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on August 30, 2023, 04:44:48 AM
I decided to add 2 more Supers that needed conversion from cbr to cbz - 60 & 63. Dick & Annie dumped.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on August 31, 2023, 04:41:07 AM
Hi,
Something was wrong with my Super Comics 63 upload, so I've just re-upped it.
Also, my own scan of #50 (to replace the fiche scan) doesn't show up, so I've reupped it too.

Also added #s 59, 61-2 and 64-5.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: movielover on August 31, 2023, 03:18:23 PM
Okay,

I don't see a upload for 50.

Also, your upload of 57 was 60, and the uploads of 59, 61, 62, and 64 were of 65, and 65 appears to be a broken upload, so I've removed them all.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 01, 2023, 03:48:43 AM
Ok, I'll do it all again.

I just retried my 'paper' #50 & #65.
#57 doesn't matter -- it's the same as Lyons' upload.

The mess is probably because I didn't select 'Add another' from the page that starts with "My dear, I have something important to say to you".
Instead, I used the browser Back button to go back to the upload page and changed the name of the file I was uploading. The mystery is that I did select a different file each time for uploading.

..............................

All are now re-upped (correctly, I hope).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: MarkWarner on September 01, 2023, 05:43:17 AM
I'll have a look at stopping the back button doing that on the uploads. Something i hadn't thought of with the new version
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 01, 2023, 05:47:07 AM
Always happy to find a bug  :<)
I used the Back button because the series of uploads I was doing had the same description etc, so it was a bit easier than using Add Another.
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 01, 2023, 05:48:58 AM
and one more - Super #85.
Only 55 more issues to go!

Tonight, 5 more Supers - #58, 115 (last 52-pager & last Dell Tracy story) & the final three - 119-121 (119 had no Dick or Annie, so it's c2c!).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 03, 2023, 05:33:28 AM

Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 04, 2023, 03:41:36 AM
Next: Supers 67-70, but...
I think I misnamed #67 as #85, and I know I uploaded #70 in the 'DS Publishing' folder. Sorry.

Hmmm... I was sure I messed those up. I need to wake up.
Meanwhile, 2 more to finish off tonight - 91 & 103. The latter has a Tracy text story which I assume also is not PD (I removed it).
Title: Re: uploads by freddyfly
Post by: freddyfly on September 05, 2023, 05:47:33 AM

Post by: freddyfly on September 11, 2023, 05:52:50 AM

Thanks Freddy.  I've been looking for that book for a long time.  But there's been an error in the scanning or assembling the scans.  This upload has a page missing. It is page 5 of the first "Buster Bunny" story. Page 4 of the second "Buster Bunny" story is duplicated in its place. I hope you or someone else can re-scan this book with the proper page added in.

Tonight, it's the 3 missing The Funnies (Dell) - 37, 51 & 52. All 'internet finds' (converted from cbr to cbz) & complete.

That brings up a question: can everybody get together on what's PD and what isn't? You allow complete Funnies scans, but DCM doesn't allow John Carter stories (or the ever-popular Andy Panda). In fact, in general you allow a lot more than DCM, but there's at least one big exception: Dell's Super Comics where you don't allow Dick Tracy but they do.

CORRECTION!
I know there was a full section of Dell's Super Comics at dcm the last time I looked, but when I decided to check it out tonight, the whole section is gone! I guess Dick Tracy had to go.
